Great hunting yarns.By DavidGood fun from a byegone era. Roosevelt certainly had some adventures before he became president. I dont know if i can imagine a modern president out hunting Grizzly bears on foot. For a man who grew up to become the ldquo;Bull Mooserdquo;, Theodore Roosevelt was a sickly child, suffering from asthma and other maladies. But his physical weakness actually drove him to be more active, which also fostered an interest in nature. It also helped that Teddyrsquo;s family was wealthy, allowing him privileges including home school and the ability to attend Harvard, where he was an athlete and took an interest in naval affairs. After finishing at Harvard, Teddy entered politics, but it didnrsquo;t stop him from writing The Naval War of 1812 in 1882, establishing himself as a professional writer and historian. In the 1890s, it was Teddyrsquo;s turn to make history, leading the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War and being decorated for his service with a Medal of Honor. He parlayed his glory into the governorship of New York and then the Vice Presidency under William McKinley. When McKinley was assassinated in 1901, young Teddy was thrust into the presidency, one that would earn him a place on Mount Rushmore, Rooseveltrsquo;s ldquo;Square Dealrdquo; domestic policies favored average citizens while busting trusts and monopolies. Roosevelt also promoted conservation as an environmental stance, while his ldquo;speak softly and carry a big stickrdquo; foreign policy is still an oft used phrase today. Roosevelt even earned a Nobel Prize during his presidency. By the time Roosevelt died in 1919, he was an American icon. Today, Teddy is remembered for being an explorer, hunter, author, soldier, president, and safari adventurer, all of which combine into one unique reputation. About the AuthorIn addition to his political accomplishments, Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), the twenty-sixth president of the United States, is known for his achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, soldier, and author.

  • War at Sea: Nineteenth-Century Laws for Twenty-First
    International Review of the Red Cross (2016), 98 (2), 419–447. War and security at sea doi:10.1017/S1816383117000418 War at sea: Nineteenth-century laws for twenty-first- century wars? Steven Haines* Steven Haines is Professor of Public International Law at the University of Greenwich and a retired British naval commander. He chaired the Editorial Board of the UK’s official Manual of the Law of Armed Conflict (2004) and co-authored its chapter on “Maritime Warfare”. He had previously written the Royal Navy’s maritime strategic doctrine (British Maritime Doctrine, 1999). Abstract While most law on the conduct of hostilities has been heavily scrutinized in recent years, the law dealing with armed conflict at sea has been largely ignored. This is not surprising. There have been few naval conflicts since 1945, and those that have occurred have been limited in scale; none has involved combat between major maritime powers. Nevertheless, navies have tripled in number since then, and today there are growing tensions between significant naval powers. There is a risk of conflict at sea. Conditions have changed since 1945, but the law has not developed in that time. Elements of it, especially that regulating economic warfare at sea, seem outdated and it is not clear that the law is well placed to regulate so- called “hybrid” warfare at sea. It seems timely to review the law, to confirm that which is appropriate and to develop that which is not. Perhaps a new edition of the San Remo Manual would be timely. Keywords: naval warfare, conduct of hostilities at sea, sea control, economic warfare, power projection, maritime hybrid warfare, San Remo Manual.

It includes manuscript collections (MS), vertical files (VF), published works, maps, prints, and photographs that may support research on the military, political, civilian, social, and economic dimensions of the war, including the United States’ relations with France and Great Britain in the decade preceding the conflict. The bulk of the manuscript material relates to military operations in the Chesapeake Bay region, Maryland politics, Baltimore- based privateers, and the impact of economic sanctions and the British blockade of the Bay (1813-1814) on Maryland merchants. Many manuscript collections, however, may support research on other theaters of the war and include correspondence between Marylanders and military and political leaders from other regions. Although this inventory includes the most significant manuscript collections and published works related to the War of 1812, it is not comprehensive. Library and archival staff are continually identifying relevant sources in MCHC’s holdings and acquiring new sources that will be added to this inventory. Accordingly, researchers should use this guide as a starting point in their research and a supplement to thorough searches in MCHC’s online library catalog.

  • Few Americans in the 1790S Would Have Predicted That the Subject Of
    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

  • Attitudes Towards Privateering During the Era of the Early American Republic
    ATTITUDES TOWARDS PRIVATEERING DURING THE ERA OF THE EARLY AMERICAN REPUBLIC A Senior Honors Thesis by James R. Holcomb IV Submitted to the Office of Honors Programs & Academic Scholarships Texas A&M University In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWS April 2007 Major: History ii ABSTRACT Attitudes towards Privateering during the Era of the Early American Republic (April 2007) James R. Holcomb IV Department of History Texas A&M University Fellows Advisor: Dr. James C. Bradford Department of History Lacking sufficient funds to build and maintain a sizeable navy, the young United States was forced to employ privateers as a “stop-gap navy” in its struggles against stronger sea powers during the War for Independence, the Quasi War, and the War of 1812. Many American leaders opposed privateering on moral grounds, but felt compelled to employ it. Merchants and seamen were generally more supportive, wither because their usual employment, fishing and peaceful commerce, was denied them when enemies hovered outside American ports and began seizing American ships, or because privateering offered the prospect of quick and large profits. Sailors preferred service in iii privateers to enlisting in the navy because discipline tended to be less rigorous in privateers than in warships, privateers appeared safer since their captains generally tried to avoid combat with enemy men of war, and privateers offered the prospect of more prize money from the sale of captured ships. Officers in the Continental and United States Navy usually opposed privateering because privateers competed with them for recruits and for naval stores to fit their ships out for sea.

  • The Worldview of Franklin D. Roosevelt: France, Germany, and United States Involvement in World War Ii in Europe
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE WORLDVIEW OF FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: FRANCE, GERMANY, AND UNITED STATES INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II IN EUROPE Michael S. Bell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Keith W. Olson Dep artment of History President Franklin D. Roosevelt operated from a remarkably consistent view of the world that grew naturally from his experiences. Before he entered the White House, Roosevelt already possessed a coherent worldview that influenced his thinking and informed his decisions as president. The product of his background and education, his experiences, and his exposure to contemporary ideas, Roosevelt’s worldview fully coalesced by the mid 1920s and provided a durable and coherent foundation for Roosevelt’s thinking as president and his strategic direction in response to the deteriorating situation in Europe in the late 1930s and toward the Second World War. Roosevelt’s “worldview” was his broad perspective and sweeping understanding of the impact and interplay of states, parties, groups, and individual people on the progressive advance of world civilization. His background and personal experiences, understanding of historical events, and ideology shaped Roosevelt’s perspective and enabled him to formulate and deliberately pursue long-range strategic goals as part of his foreign policy. The foundation of Roosevelt’s worldview was a progressive, liberal outlook that provided a durable basis for how he interpreted and responded to events at home and abroad. An essential aspect of that outlook was Roosevelt’s deep conviction that he had a personal responsibility to advance civilization and safeguard the cause of liberal reform and democracy. He believed that he was an agent of progress.

Ziegler This paper analyzes the fundamental maritime defense mentality that permeated America throughout the early part of the Republic. For fear of economic debt and foreign wars, Thomas Jefferson and his Republican party opposed the construction of a formidable blue water naval force. Instead, they argued for a small naval force capable of engaging the Barbary pirates and other small similar forces.

  • Foreign Relations, Strategic Doctrine, and Presidential Power
    GARTNER EIC MACRO (DO NOT DELETE) 2/26/2012 1:44 PM FOREIGN RELATIONS, STRATEGIC DOCTRINE, AND PRESIDENTIAL POWER David Gartner* ABSTRACT There is a central debate in foreign relations law between scholars who argue that the President inherited great power from the founding and those who contend that only after World War II was there a significant shift in the balance of powers over foreign relations. This Article highlights a third perspective by focusing on the significance of presidential assertions of power during the decade after the Spanish–American War. In this period, presidents asserted unprecedented power to dispatch the armed forces of the United States into foreign conflicts and to independently enter into binding international agreements without the participation of Congress. The Article concludes that shifting international relations, shaped by strategic foreign policy doctrine, have been central drivers of presidential assertions of authority over foreign relations.

  • Theodore Roosevelt Compressed a Great Deal of Life Into His Short Sixty One Years
    President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt Three years before the American Civil War one of the country’s most beloved presidents was born in New York City on October 27, 1858. Theodore Roosevelt compressed a great deal of life into his short sixty one years. Politician, Statesman, Conservationist, and President of the United States Theodore’s early years were racked with health issues and a body weakened by asthma. Living in the family home in New York City, young Teddy was considered too weak for regular school so his parents hired private tutors for him. He was extremely brilliant and obsessed with a fascination for all things about nature. He even called his own bedroom the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History.” Even though he showed a great aptitude for learning “T.R.” was still in very poor physical condition. His father even put an entire gymnasium in one room of their very large home to help his son gain strength. The young Roosevelt was obsessed with overcoming his frail body and worked daily to build up his physique. He even took up boxing. Entering into Harvard University in 1876, he was both scholarly and outstanding in boxing. One of his early efforts as a writer resulted in a book titled “The Naval War of 1812.” His work was so well regarded that it was required reading at the United States Naval Academy. Planning to become an attorney, Teddy enrolled in Columbia University. But while he was still at Harvard, in 1880, he met the beautiful Alice Lee the daughter of a prominent Boston banker.

  • Theodore Roosevelt, "Free Silver, Trusts, and the Philippines" (7 September 1900)
    Voices of Democracy 5 (2010): 57‐71 Kimokeo‐Goes 57 THEODORE ROOSEVELT, "FREE SILVER, TRUSTS, AND THE PHILIPPINES" (7 SEPTEMBER 1900) Una Kimokeo‐Goes Willamette University Abstract: This essay examines a vice presidential campaign speech by Theodore Roosevelt that reveals his vision of American national character and its role in world affairs. Delivered in support of William McKinley in 1900, the speech shows how Roosevelt defended American intervention in the Philippines. Presenting the administration's expansionist policies as a test of America's honor, national unity, and strength, Roosevelt portrayed critics of expansionism as weak, unpatriotic, and unwilling to perform America's "manly" duties. Key Words: Campaign of 1900, Theodore Roosevelt, American Identity, Imperialism, The Philippines, U.S. Foreign Policy, Expansion Theodore Roosevelt is one of our most celebrated presidents, and his leadership in the early 1900s made him "the symbol of the new century."1 Yet, even before he became president, Roosevelt worked hard to define the nation's ideals and its proper role in the world. Writing and speaking prolifically, Roosevelt spent much of the 1880s and 1890s advocating that the United States do more to realize its destiny as a leader among nations. During his campaign for vice president in 1900, Roosevelt previewed many of the themes that he would address in his more famous presidential speeches, including his calls for America to assume a more active role in international affairs. Roosevelt's legacy is deeply connected to his vision of the United States. He believed in the honor and nobility of the U.S. government, and he believed in rugged individualism, which he viewed as the basis for both personal and national character.

It is not so easy to discover a fund of military glory in the War of 1812. That was a great war year. Within' a few days of the declaration of war by the United States against Great Britain, Napoleon's Grand Army of over 400,000 men crossed the Niemen into Russia. Six months later 4,000 of that host recrossed, pursued by the Russians; and probably not more than 100,000 of the whole number ever saw their homes again.

  • Naval War of 1812€
    A Global Forum for Naval Historical Scholarship International Journal of Naval History Volume 1 Number 1 April 2002 The Lasting Influence of Theodore Roosevelt’s Naval War of 1812 Michael J. Crawford, Naval Historical Center In 1882, twenty-three-year-old Theodore Roosevelt published his first book, The Naval War of 1812. Reviewers praised the book’s scholarship and style, the recently established Naval War College adopted it for study, and the Department of the Navy ordered a copy placed in every ship’s library.[1] Roosevelt wrote, as we all are fully aware, at a time when the U.S. Navy had reached a nadir. The number of ships in service had fallen to a low, and the ships in service were completely outmoded. With his Naval War of 1812, Roosevelt contributed to the movement for naval revitalization and modernization by hammering home the lessons of naval preparedness. He underscored the folly of relying on militia forces at the commencement of an armed conflict and the necessity for success of well-trained sailors and high-quality warships. It is doubtful that publication of Roosevelt’s Naval War of 1812 in 1882 had any influence on Congress’s laying the foundations of the new steel navy in 1883, but the work did promote a more favorable attitude toward the navy among the reading public, establish Roosevelt’s credentials as an expert in naval affairs, and presage the young politician’s agenda that would see fruition decades later during his presidency in what some would come to call “Teddy Roosevelt’s navy.” The subject of my paper today, however, is not the influence of Roosevelt’s Naval War of 1812 on the navy of Roosevelt’s time—a subject perhaps more suited to the title of this session.
